After seeing Meadowlawn Squire, I wanted to breed one of our Penrhyn Mares to him. I picked Penrhyn Southern Belle, a Champion Weanling in Canada, to breed to him. In 1992, Belle was bred to Squire.
Early in the morning of June 26,1993 a lovely roan chestnut colt was born. We went down to the pasture where the bred mares stay and were greeted at the gate by the bold colt. Now to figure out a name for him. I liked St. George (the damsel he saved from the Dragon was called Sabra) and Monty wanted to call him Welshman (British Merchant Steamer). Monty won.
We showed Welshman as a yearling and a 2year old winning Champion or Reserve Champion Colt every time out. He was then turned out as we had other ponies to show. About three years ago I was watching him trot across the pasture and knew we should show him again. The first year he showed at two shows in halter only; he was the Champion Section A Stallion under a Welsh Judge in Missouri. The second year he debuted in driving winning the stake class at Tulsa which had 15 entries and he was Champion Section A Stallion at two other shows. These past years, with John Almond's help, we showed at eighteen shows. He has been named the 2001 and 2002 WPCSA Champion Section A Stallion, 2001 WPCSA Reserve Champion Carriage Driving and 3rd in the 2001 WPCSA Pleasure Driving 12.2 and under and in 2002 was the Reserve Champion. In 2002 he achieved his individual Legion of Merit.
